By using our Services, you agree that you bear responsibility for your own financial decisions and you also agree that BlackHedge will in no way be held liable for losses or gains arising out of use of the content or User Contributions (as defined below) of any type on the Site. You acknowledge that your investment decisions and recommendations, as applicable, are made entirely at your election and that BlackHedge content or User Contributions are solely one additional source of information in assisting your making those determinations. You similarly acknowledge that you will not hold any other BlackHedge user liable for losses or gains arising out of Content or User Contributions of any type on the Site.You alone are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, security or strategy, or any other product or service, is appropriate or suitable for you based on your investment objectives and personal and financial situation.
- No Personalized Advice: Your personal financial situation is unique, and the information provided may not be appropriate for your situation. You understand that no content published on the Services constitutes a recommendation that any particular security, portfolio of securities, transaction or investment strategy is suitable for any specific person. You further understand that we are not advising you personally concerning the nature, potential, value or suitability of any particular security, portfolio of securities, transaction, investment strategy or other matter. To the extent any of the content published on the Services may be deemed to be investment advice or recommendations in connection with a particular security, such information is impersonal and not tailored to the investment needs of any specific person. You understand that an investment in any security is subject to a number of risks and that discussions of any security published on the Services will not contain a list or description of relevant risk factors. In addition, please note that some of the stocks as to which content is published on the Services may have a low market capitalization and/or insufficient public float. Such stocks are subject to more risk than stocks of larger companies, including greater volatility, lower liquidity, and less publicly available information. Postings or content on the Services, which may or may not be deemed by you to be recommendations, may influence their stock prices. You understand that performance data is supplied by sources believed to be reliable, that the calculations and analysis herein are made using such data, and that such calculations and analysis are not guaranteed by these sources or any other person or entity and may not be complete. As the user of the data, you are the sole and final decision maker with regards to your financial and investment decisions.You alone are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, security or strategy, or any other product or service, is appropriate or suitable for you based on your investment objectives and personal and financial situation.To the extent the Services provide model portfolios or actual portfolios of investments, such portfolios are chosen by the authors of the Services in accordance with their personal investment strategy and are not to be construed as investment advice, nor should they be considered suitable to you or any other person. You understand that the securities posted on the Services or displayed in the actual portfolios may be held by affiliates of BlackHedge and that the mention of a security on the Services should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell that particular security.From time to time, reference may be made on our Services to articles and opinions published by others. These references may be selective, may reference only a portion of an article or opinion, and may not be current. As markets change continuously, previously published information and data are not likely to be current and should not be relied upon.Accordingly, before making any final decisions or implementing any financial strategy, we recommend that you obtain additional information and advice of your accountant and other financial advisors who are fully aware of your individual circumstances.
- No Investment Recommendations or Professional Advice: The Services are not intended to provide tax, legal, insurance, or investment advice, and nothing in the Services should be construed as an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any security by BlackHedge or any third party. Before selling or buying any investment, whether based on the model portfolios, actual portfolios or otherwise, you should consult with a qualified investment adviser, broker, or other financial professional to verify the suitability of the investment and pricing information. You should also consult an attorney or tax professional regarding your specific legal or tax situation.
